Sell the REAL (sporty) Fiesta ST here in America!!!

It's 2015 now and I still can't believe that I can't buy a Fiesta ST coupe in America. Ford Motors' main reasoning for this is that the 2 door model would cannibalize Mustang sales. I do love the new Mustang and consider it one of the best looking cars for this year, but it's also expensive and rather heavy.

And what if it did take sales away - so what? You don’t think we know, Ford, that your competition (GTI, Mini, Civc, etc.) sell cars that are all available in a coupe version? Cannibalizing from one model to another within the same company is still better than losing that customer to another company, isn't it? And what about all that "One Ford" motto you keep yapping about, Ford. Is it true or not? And should Americans be able to buy an American car or not?

The Great Escape

This 30 second video on YouTube is amazing.  Watch how nonchalant this man is after jumping from a overpass in Tijuana, while eluding the police.  He's stoned and crazy but he definitely has chutzpah.

    

 

Kobe-free Lakers

Here's a great article, by Brian Phillips, about Kobe Bryant:

Wolf on the Rock: The Ludicrous, Glorious Doom of Kobe Bryant

I don't know if it's that stupid smirk of his or his not friendly attitude, but I never really cared for Bryant.  Granted, he won a lot of games for the L.A. Lakers and is probably one of the best players since he joined the NBA, but at this stage, I don't think even his most fanatical supporters would be too unhappy to see him retire or move on to another team.  It's just too hard to like him.
